Comments

Control emissions, especially those pollutants regulated by legislation, was generally good. CO and NOx remained low even in the toughest of Green NCAP's tests and particulate number was never excessive. In some of the laboratory tests, emissions of ammonia, NH3, were elevated, lowering the scores slightly.

Comments

The Fabia is a small, light car and its declared CO2 value of 125 g/km was easily achieved or bettered in the cold and warm tests. In the cold ambient temperature and high-load tests, CO2 emissions are a little higher but the car scores well in all of the tests and achieves an impressive 6.5 in this index.

Comments

Ammonia, NH3, and Methane, CH4, are well controlled in all tests and values of CO2 are low in the warm and cold tests, rising slightly in the more challenging scenarios.

Our verdict

August 2023: The result of this car been updated. Previously reported Ammonia (NH3) values were incorrect owing to a technical error with the equipment at the test laboratory and a correction has been applied.
The soon-to-be-replaced third generation Škoda Fabia is tested here with the 3 cylinder 1.0 litre turbocharged direct injection engine. In the past, such engines might have had issues with the number of particulate they emitted but a gasoline particulate filter (GPF) takes care of the problem, and to good effect. Emissions of particulates are never excessive, even in the more challenging tests. Emissions of NOx and CO are very well controlled, especially in the road tests. The story remains good when we look at energy efficiency, with the small engine emitting low values of CO2. This serves the car well in the Energy Efficiency index too, and excellent control of laughing gas, N2O and of Methane, CH4, contribute to a good index of 5 in this part of the assessment. Overall, the average index is only a little short of gaining the Fabia an extra half-star but it emerges from the tests with a very creditable 3 star rating.
